ICTP's 60th anniversary celebration on 15 November showcased the Centre's unique mission and future science strategy. The milestone also saw the launch of the Centre's new promotional videos, "Igniting Discovery" and "Uniting Minds".
The videos were part of a 60th anniversary communications campaign designed to showcase how ICTP's mission helps to build sustainable, resilient science throughout the world, especially in disadvantaged countries, giving these countries the boost they need to address and access rapid scientific and technological advances.
The videos emphasize ICTP scientific excellence and impact through the words and stories of its scientists and individuals who have been trained by or involved with ICTP. "Igniting Discovery" captures how ICTP's unique mission to bridge the scientific divide between wealthy and disadvantaged countries is conducive to a research environment that encourages innovation and curiosity-driven, blue sky science for everyone.
"Uniting Minds" showcases early career scientists from developing countries who come to ICTP to participate in one of its many training and education programmes, and how their stay at the Centre and its unique environment exposes them to the highest level of science.
